**וְשׁוּלָיו.** כְּמוֹ ״שׁוּלֵי הַמְּעִיל״ (שמות כח:לד), תַּחְתִּיתוֹ. רְאִיתִיו **יוֹשֵׁב עַל כִּסֵּא** בַּשָּׁמַיִם, וְרַגְלָיו בַּהֵיכָל, הֲדוֹם מַרְגְּלוֹתָיו בְּבֵית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ, לָדוּן עַל עֻזִּיָּה שֶׁבָּא לִטּוֹל כֶּתֶר כְּהֻנָּה:

I saw Him sitting on His throne in heaven with His feet in the Temple, His footstool in the Sanctuary, to pass judgment on Uzziah, who came to usurp the crown of the priesthood.

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**and with two he would cover his feet** for modesty, so as not to bare his entire body before his Creator. And in Tanhuma (Emor 8), I saw that the feet were covered because they are like the sole of the foot of a calf, in order not to remind Israel of the sin of the golden calf.

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**And one called to the other** They would take permission from one another so that one would not commence before [his fellows] and be guilty of [a sin punishable by] burning, unless they all commenced simultaneously. This is what was established in [the blessing commencing:] “...Who formed light,” “the declaration of holiness, they all respond as one...” This is a Midrash Aggadah of the account of the Merkavah. And so did Jonathan render this.

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**And the doorposts quaked** [Jonathan renders:] אֵילְוַת סִפֵּי, they are the doorposts of the entrance, which are measured with the measurements of cubits in the height and in the width, and they are the doorposts of the Temple.

**מִקּוֹל הַקּוֹרֵא.** מִקּוֹל הַמַּלְאָכִים הַקּוֹרְאִים, וְהוּא הָיָה יוֹם הָרַעַשׁ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר בּוֹ ״וְנַסְתֶּם כַּאֲשֶׁר נַסְתֶּם מִפְּנֵי הָרַעַשׁ בִּימֵי עֻזִּיָּה״ (זכריה יד:ה). בּוֹ בַּיּוֹם עָמַד עֻזִּיָּה לְהַקְטִיר בַּהֵיכָל, רָעֲשׁוּ שָׁמַיִם לְשָׂרְפוֹ לוֹמַר: דִּינוֹ בִּשְׂרֵפָה, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר ״וַתֹּאכַל אֵת הַחֲמִשִּׁים וּמָאתַיִם אִישׁ״ (במדבר טז:לה), וְזֶהוּ שֶׁקְּרָאָם שְׂרָפִים שֶׁבָּאוּ לְשָׂרְפוֹ. רָעֲשָׁה הָאָרֶץ לְבָלְעוֹ, כִּסְבוּרָה: דִּינוֹ לִבָּלַע כְּקֹרַח שֶׁעִרְעֵר עַל הַכְּהֻנָּה. יָצְתָה בַּת קוֹל וְאָמְרָה: ״זִכָּרוֹן לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְגוֹ׳״ (במדבר יז:ה), וְלֹא יִהְיֶה עוֹד אָדָם הַמְעוֹרֵר עַל הַכְּהֻנָּה כְּקֹרַח בִּבְלִיעָה וְכַעֲדָתוֹ בִּשְׂרֵפָה, אֶלָּא כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר ה׳ בְּיַד מֹשֶׁה בַּסְּנֶה ״הָבֵא נָא יָדְךָ בְּחֵיקֶךָ״ (שמות ד:ו), וְהוֹצִיאָהּ מְצֹרַעַת כַּשֶּׁלֶג; אַף כָּאן צָרַעַת פָּרְחָה בְּמִצְחוֹ:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**from the voice of him who called** [i.e.,] from the voice of the angels calling. This took place on the day of the earthquake, about which it is stated (Zechariah 14:5): “And you shall flee as you fled on the day of the earthquake in the days of Uzziah.” On the day that Uzziah stood, ready to burn incense in the Temple, the heavens quaked, [attempting] to burn him, as if to say that his punishment should be by burning, as it is said (Num. 16:35): “And it consumed the two hundred and fifty men.” For this reason, Scripture calls them seraphim, for they attempted to burn him. The earth quaked, attempting to swallow him up, thinking that his punishment should be that he be swallowed up like Korah, who contested the priesthood. Thereupon, a heavenly voice emanated and said (ibid. 17: 5), “And there shall not be” another man contesting the priesthood “like Korah” to be swallowed up, “and like his assembly” to be burnt, but, “as the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses,” in the thornbush (Exodus 4:6), “Now bring your hand into your bosom,” and he took it out, stricken with zaraath like snow, here too, the zaraath shone on his forehead.”

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**for I am lost** I will die, for I was not worthy of seeing the Countenance of the Shechinah. We find a similar statement made by Manoah (Judges 13:22): “We shall surely die, for we have seen God.”

**רִצְפָּה.** גַּחֶלֶת, וְכֵן ״עֻגַת רְצָפִים״ (מלכים א יט:ו) כְּמוֹ ׳עֻגַּת רְשָׁפִים׳. וְנֶאֱמַר בִּישַׁעְיָהוּ וּבְאֵלִיָּהוּ בְּצָדִ״י ׳רִצְפָּה׳, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁאָמְרוּ דִילָטוֹרְיָא עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל: זֶה קְרָאָם ״עַם טְמֵא שְׂפָתַיִם״, וְזֶה אָמַר ״כִּי עָזְבוּ בְרִיתֶךָ״ (מלכים א יט:י). אָמַר הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא לַמַּלְאָךְ: רְצוֹץ פֶּה שֶׁאָמַר דִילָטוֹרְיָא עַל בָּנַי (שיר השירים רבה א:ט):

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**a glowing coal** Heb. רִצְפָּה, a coal, and similarly, (I Kings 19:6) “a cake baked on hot coals (עֻגַּת רְצָפִים),” like עֻגַּת רְשָׁפִים. In regards to Isaiah and Elijah, however, it is written with a ‘zadi,’ רִצְפָּה, because they spoke ill of Israel. This one [Isaiah] called them a people of unclean lips, and this one [Elijah] said, (ibid. 10) “For...have forsaken Your covenant.” Said the Holy One, blessed be He, to the angel, “Break the mouth (רְצוֹץ פֶּה) that spoke ill of My children.”

**וַיַּגַּע עַל פִּי וְגוֹ׳. וְסָר עֲוֺנֶךָ** – זֶה לְיַסְּרֶךָ, לְכַפֵּר עֲוֺנְךָ שֶׁחֵרַפְתָּ אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל. וְגָדוֹל כֹּחוֹ, שֶׁהַמַּלְאָךְ יָרֵא לְקַחְתָּהּ כִּי אִם בְּמֶלְקָחַיִם, וְהִגִּיעָהּ עַל שִׂפְתֵי הַנָּבִיא וְלֹא הֻזַּק, בְּתַנְחוּמָא (תנחומא, וישלח ב). וְזֶהוּ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר ״כִּי רַב מְאֹד מַחֲנֵהוּ״ (יואל ב:יא) – אֵלּוּ מַלְאָכִים, וַעֲצוּמִים מֵהֶם ״עוֹשֵׂי דְבָרוֹ״ (שם) – הֵם הַנְּבִיאִים. וְיוֹנָתָן תִּרְגֵּם **וּבְיָדוֹ רִצְפָּה** – ״וּבְפוּמֵיהּ מְמַלֵּל״. לְשׁוֹן ״רִצְפָּה״ דִּבּוּר הָרָצוּף בַּפֶּה וּבַלָּשׁוֹן. **מֵעַל הַמִּזְבֵּחַ** – קִבֵּל הַדִּבּוּר מִפִּי הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא, מִכִּסְאוֹ שֶׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם, שֶׁהָיָה מְכֻוָּן כְּנֶגֶד הַמִּזְבֵּחַ שֶׁבַּהֵיכָל:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**And he caused it to touch my mouth... “...and your iniquity shall be removed”** This is to cause pain, to atone for your iniquity that you degraded Israel. And his strength was great, for the angel was afraid to take it without tongs, yet he caused it to touch the prophet’s lip, and he [the prophet] was not injured. [This is found] in Tanhuma (ibid.) This is [the meaning] of what Scripture states (Joel 2: 11): “For His camp is very great,” these are the angels; “and stronger” than they “are those who fulfill His word”these are the prophets (Tanhuma ibid.). Jonathan renders: “And in his hand was a glowing coal,” to mean, “And in his mouth was speech.” The expression רִצְפָּה: [means a thing refined in the mouth and with the tongue] (רָצוּף בְּפֶּה). “From upon the altar,” he received the speech from the mouth of the Holy One, blessed be he, from His throne in Heaven, which was directed opposite the altar that was in the Temple.

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**Whom shall I send** to admonish Israel? I sent Amos, and they called him, ‘Pesilus,’ because he was tongue tied, [’Pesilus’ being the Greek word for tongue-tied.] He prophesied two years before the earthquake, and the Israelites would say, The Holy One, blessed be He, left over the whole world and caused His Shechinah to rest on this tongue-tied one, as is stated in Pesikta.

**הַשְׁמֵן לֵב הָעָם הַזֶּה.** כְּמוֹ ״הַכְבֵּד אֶת לִבּוֹ״ (שמות ח:יא), לְשׁוֹן הָלוֹךְ, לְשׁוֹן פָּעוֹל: לִבָּם הוֹלֵךְ הָלוֹךְ וְהַשְׁמֵן (אנגריישנ״ט בְּלַעַ״ז), **וְאָזְנָיו** הוֹלְכִים הָלוֹךְ **וְהַכְבֵּד** מִשְּׁמוֹעַ:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**This people’s heart is becoming fat** [This structure] הַשְׁמֵן resembles (Exodus 8:11), “And making his heart heavy (הַכְבֵּד),” an expression of a continuous action. Their heart continuously becomes fatter, angrajjsant in O.F., and his ears are becoming heavier and heavier, [i.e., harder and harder] of hearing.

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**and his eyes are becoming sealed** Plastered, comp. (infra 44:18) “For their eyes are plastered from seeing.” הִטּוֹחַ (Leviticus 14:43) is translated into Aramaic as דְאִתְשַׁע. We, thereby, equate the two words הָשַׁע and טָח.

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**

**כָּאֵלָה וְכָאַלּוֹן.** אֲשֶׁר בְּעֵת זְמַן שַׁלֶּכֶת שֶׁלָּהֶן, מַשְׁלִיכִין עָלִין שֶׁלָּהֶן בִּימֵי הַסְּתָיו שִׁלּוּךְ אַחַר שִׁלּוּךְ, עַד שֶׁאֵין נוֹתָר בָּהּ זוּלָתִי הַמַּצֶּבֶת. אַף הֵם, זֶרַע הַקֹּדֶשׁ הַנִּמְצָאִין בָּהּ, עוֹמְדִים בִּקְדוּשָׁתוֹ, הֵם יִהְיוּ לָהּ לְמַצֶּבֶת. דָּבָר אַחֵר: מַצַּבְתָּהּ – נְטִיעָתָהּ, לְכָךְ אֵינִי מְכַלֶּה אוֹתָם, נְטַעְתִּים **זֶרַע קֹדֶשׁ.** וְיֵשׁ פּוֹתְרִים: שַׁעַר שַׁלֶּכֶת הָיְתָה בִּירוּשָׁלַיִם, כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָמַר בְּעֶזְרָא (דברי הימים א כו:טז), וְהָיוּ שָׁם אֵלָה וְאַלּוֹן נְטוּעִים:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**like the terebinth and like the oak** which, at the time of their casting, when they cast off their leaves during the fall, one casting after another casting, until nothing is left in it except the trunk, they too, the holy seed found in its midst, adhering to their holiness, they will be to Me as the trunk; another explanation of מַצַּבְתָּהּ is: its planting. Therefore, I will not destroy them, for I planted them as holy seed. Some explain that there was a Shallecheth Gate in Jerusalem, as it is stated in Ezra (I Chron. 26:16, written by Ezra), and there, terebinths and oaks were planted.
